lyrics
[1]
I fucked up, I fucked up again.
I have no one but myself to blame.
If I could, I'd find a scapegoat,
I dug myself into this hole.
It's time I stopped taking advice
From men with no shine in their eyes.
No longer afraid to burn out,
'cause I'll light the way with this fire.
I get it, many don't like it:
Way too much envy all around.
Something I got used to by now,
But not something I can become.
[prechorus 1]
I'm a loser, call me what I am.
Let me hear it, I'll laugh in your face.
One more reason to beat you again,
You missed the moment when sheep turned into wolf,
It's too late.
[chorus 1]
Running away from hungry vultures,
I left behind all that I had.
All of my dreams brutally butchered,
Thank heavens I'm at least not dead.
[2]
Yes, I've got everything to lose,
And why don't they teach it in school?
"Always be nice, honest and kind,"
We're told by men who always lie.
[prechorus 2]
Shut up, just fuck off with your moralizing rants,
They aren't worth a shit, they just drive me really mad.
All who could help me, they already did.
You can stay to watch from the front row,
As I descend again down below into the pit.
[chorus 2]
Running away from hungry vultures,
I left behind all that I had.
All of my dreams brutally butchered,
Thank heavens I'm at least not dead.
In a fight with my inner demons,
I might as well just take a dive.
Was this pain real or did I dream it?
Was I ever truly alive?
[interlude]
Time has come to speak with you heart to heart,
I know not everyone will follow me.
Wherever we may go, at least I will always be sincere.
I'm no longer afraid,
I know what's to be done.
I'm not going away,
I'm not the one to run.
[chorus 3]
Running away from hungry vultures,
I left behind all that I had.
All of my dreams brutally butchered,
Thank heavens I'm at least not dead.
In a fight with my inner demons,
I might as well just take a dive.
Was this pain real or did I dream it?
Was I ever truly alive?
